Re: reality

I understand what you are talking about very painfully. Sometimes it hurts just to look in the mirror and I think, "wow, how gross...", but in the end we all have to realize we are all works in progress. Your progress may center around weight loss, but for others it is something else. Be thankful that the thing you need to fix is indeed fixable.

sometimes reality really bites.
earlier today I had to run out to the shops - so after my shower I actually blow dried my hair and put make up on - I felt really good about myself.
I was walking with my head held high, I felt beautiful - I was smiling at everyone and most smiled back.
Then as I was leaving the shop reality happened and I tucked into myself, tried to make myself as small and unnoticeable as someone my size can, the smile left my face, my head faced the ground and I just went straight to my car.....can anyone guess what happened that changed my "wow I'm beautiful, happy, yeah me" mood to the "hide me" mood?
I'll tell you - I saw my reflection in the glass door I was walking towards.
It took me a second to realize it was me. and....
....It was then that I remembered what my reality is.
I know I have a long road ahead of me - right now all of this ugly fat that has me trapped is my cocoon - someday I will break free and become the beautiful butterfly that lives in my heart and in my soul.
I am not giving up. I believe.
Thanks for letting me share my experience in reality.
